BLM protestors struck by car during freeway protest in Seattle

im pretty sure you tend to have that look on your face irl a lot.

Guess what, dude, blocking off a freeway at night is dangerous. Troopers speculating that someone may have driven around a roadblock is just that. The trucker in Minneapolis did t avoid any roadblocks, stopped, and was attacked by a mob for saving their lives.

Ah so now you support the police blocking public roads?

You really like to pick and choose when to respect the authority of the police, I've noticed.

So now that you're completely wrong and realize that the highway was blocked off and closed for the legal protest, and therefore the story is about someone trying to commit murder, the focus is on my opinion of police?

Whether or not I like cops doesn't change the fact that they blocked off the highway and someone drove around the roadblock with the intention of running over protesters.

This is how I know you guys don't even watch the video or read the story. The driver had to drive up an exit ramp (the wrong way) and drive around police roadblocks and then intentionally sped into protesters. The road was closed.

Why was the road closed?

Protesters didn't set up a roadblock, police did.

So he was trying to get around a blockade?

Perhaps he was going somewhere on the other side of it?

There is literally another on ramp a mile up the road if that

Don't ask questions you know the answer to.

I don't care what you're protesting. If you protest in the street and get hit by a car, you have no one to blame but yourself.

This jag off and anyone who liked his post should be infracted

Pieces of shit the lot of you

 

[nostradumbass]

Don't ask questions you know the answer to.

Why not give the answer, since we all know it?

The road was not closed (legally), there was no police roadblock (?) and the police already said they had no right or permit to be on the highway at 2am.

Do roads exist for non-state actors to exercise authority over people, or for people to travel?

Do cars exist to travel, or to murder people? Is it your opinion that you should be able to murder every pedestrian who happens to be in a road, or just people you happen to disagree with?

It was not closed.

Protesters didn't set up a roadblock, police did.

Yeah to try to avoid the protesters getting hit by cars. As we’ve seen in other instances, it’s not very easy to set up the roadblocks quickly enough to avoid vehicles getting through. Secondary accidents are quite common on highways that stop traffic as well.

 

[Sakurabaism]

Yo put this shit on the OP

 

[BEER]

the parked van created a blind spot at 11 o clock, he didnt see the people on his left. once he saw them, he steer left, trying to avoid the people in the middle, but hit the people that were still coming across from the left.

people will interpret this (somehow) as the driver purposely steered into them.

<Lmaoo><Lmaoo><Lmaoo>

Imagine thinking a dude who drove up the wrong way on an exit ramp was just innocently speeding past a roadblock and accelerating into protesters by accident.

Jesus Christ.

If you see cars stopped sideways on the highway, do you slow down and stop? Or do you just swerve around them on the shoulder and punch the gas pedal?

Where are you getting this information? I saw an article earlier (via yahoo) that quoted the police as saying illegal "protest", illegally in the roadway. And the cops weren't blocking anything.

Did he know that?

The video clearly shows that only the shoulder lane is open. Instead of slowing down and stopping for vehicles parked sideways on the highway, the driver swerved around and accelerated towards the protesters.

The video is NOT ambiguous lmao.

So you support the police.

I feel no sympathy for them...Whatsoever. If you risk bodily harm upon yourself by standing on a freeway, you should be 100% responsible for the consequences. Also, the driver should be able to sue them for damages, assuming they live.

Pull your head out of your ass , the road was closed

You're asking a loaded question. You're presupposing that someone who does not allow non-state actors to detain him commits murder by crashing through them.
